Some pregenerated sets of characters can be found here.
DGGen is a program written in Python to generate characters for the pen-and-paper roleplaying game Delta Green from Arc Dream Publishing. It follows the character creations rules included in Delta Green:Need to Know and the Delta Green Agent's Handbook. The ReportLab library is required. Characters are created one-per-page (if unequipped) or two-per-page into a PDF. (The second-page of the character sheet is included as the final page in the PDF if characters are generated unequipped.) By default, characters of alternating genders are created in each of the following professions:
(Edit data/professions.json to alter the professions generated, or the number of characters
generated per profession.)
By default, the generator uses data from data/professions.json to define professions, and
the number of characters generated for each. Different sets of professions can be used with the --professions flag.
See data/professions-fbi.json as an example, or you can create your own.
Pre-built examples include data/professions-fbi.json,
data/professions-cia.json, data/professions-dea.json, and
data/professions-socom.json.
If desired, veteran Delta Green agent characters can be generated with the --veterancy flag. These characters will
have gained skill levels due to experience, but may also have suffered some decreases in physical characteristics, and
may also suffer some Damaged Veterans effects (from page 38 of the AH). Minimum and maximum ages can be set
with the -a and -A flags respectively.
If you'd prefer to get the veterancy experience checks and stat losses, but not the Damaged Veterans effects, use the
--no-damaged flag. This flag has no effect if veterancy is not enabled. This is probably the right thing to do if you
need veterans who are not DG agents.
The following character sheet images were graciously provided by Simeon Cogswell, designer for Delta Green:
Big thank you to Simeon and the folks at Arc Dream Publishing for the support.
Set up a virtual environment
We use venv to isolate our dependencies from any other Python projects that we might be working on. We only need to do this once.
python3 -m venv .venvActivate an existing virtual environment.
source .venv/bin/activateInstall dependencies
pip install -U -r requirements.txtGenerate standard characters.
